Photos from EPD show that the crashed aircraft was a light sport type aircraft not tracked by flight data, not the Bonanza I speculated earlier. Apologies to the Bonanza pilot who appears to have landed safely at Murray just around the time of the crash

Based on online flight data, it appears that the involved aircraft was a privately owned 1976 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza that flew out of ACV, up the coast, turned at Big Lagoon and appeared to be on approach to Murray Field when the crash occurred.

Fire made contact with the patient who has minor injuries and will be transported to the ambulance in a Fish and Wildlife vehicle
todd / 11:44 a.m.
It sounds as though EPD and possibly some fire personnel have located the patient who they report is alert and oriented. There appears to be significant confusion over communications and command among the responding agencies
todd / 11:38 a.m.
EPD is working down a trail with Humboldt Bay Fire personal and Fish and Game and state that they have visual of the aircraft. There is reportedly one patient injured but conscious.
todd / 11:25 a.m.
Units are on scene at Mid City attempting to locate the downed aircraft. An EPD unit reports seeing a plume of smoke approximately 1 mile uphill above Murray Field
